This list of users can be manipulated into SQL commands to create
database users or an LDIF file to create LDAP or AD users. Details of
the LDIF or SQL files vary, but [link] and [link]
include some examples:

Another key advantage of using Password Manager in an application or directory
migration project is the ability to create new login IDs with random
initial password values and avoid distributing password values
by e-mail.

Initializing Passwords

A major problem in activating a new system
is selecting a suitable initial password for users, and communicating
that initial value to users securely.

Setting the initial password value to a user's SSN or login ID is
insecure. Setting a stronger password is better, but communicating
that initial value to users by e-mail is also insecure.

With Password Manager, users need not know the initial password value to
their new account. Instead, they can be instructed by e-mail to
change all of their passwords, including the new one, with Password Manager.
This way, they change their password from an initial random string
(which they do not know) to a strong value securely, after proper
authentication (with another system's password).

For example, new users of an LDAP directory might receive an
e-mail with the text:

Acme, Inc. has activated a new corporate directory. New applications,
and our Intranet, will verify your identity using a user ID and password
on this directory.
To activate your corporate directory account, click on the link below,
enter your windows network login ID and password, and select a new
password for all of your accounts. You will then be able to use
the new password both for the systems with which you are already
familiar, and for the new corporate directory.
http://password.acme.com/psynch/nph-psf.exe

Users would follow the link, type their existing Windows NT login
ID and password, and select a new password. They will then be
able to log into every system, including the new LDAP directory,
with the new password. Thus migrating users can be done efficiently and securely.

Maintaining Passwords During the Transition

In the event of a directory migration (for example, upgrading a domain
from NetWare NDS to Windows 2008 Active Directory), it may be useful to
keep running both systems for a transition period.

In these cases, the password synchronization features of Password Manager
will significantly reduce the complexity for end users, as they
won't really have to understand which resources use which directory
(and hence which password).

This will directly reduce the support load produced by the
transition period.
